Listeners and events are widely used in modern application. This article finds a way to explicitly define
listener-based component dependencies in generic IoC container. The method leads to simplifying listener
code, separation of event delivery logic as well as defines listener dependencies in analyzable way. These
benefits a used to solve common problems with listeners: the order of event notifications and the problem of
exponential growth of events in system with many components.

Sometimes it is just a question of right tools that helps to use VCS smarter. This article introduces TMate –
an IntelliJ IDEA plug-in that helps developers to get most of the CVS – the most popular version control
system.

There are lots of developers who already understand the necessity of performance tuning of Java application.
They know about profilers, and most likely use them in everyday developer's life. These people reasonably
ask: why should we use this or that tool, why one is better than another, and finally which one is the best?

The next programming paradigm is already almost upon us. It is not yet fully formed—different parts have
different names: Intentional programming, MDA, generative programming, etc. I suggest uniting all of these
new
approaches under one name, 'language-oriented programming', and this article explains the main principles of
this new programming paradigm.

Fabrique is a tool for rapid development of applications with rich client-side web-based interface and a
database at the backend. Although there are lots of such tools around, all of them represent a big family of
“libraries” that provide some more service yet ask you to conform to some rules for that. The point is that
after you chose on a platform, you become dependent on it.

Imagine that we have large source codebase that we need to browse and/or modify it. Conventional tools like
find and replace text could be of little use for the declared goals because when we use them it is just easy
to find or replace too much or too little.

The main advantage of developing Omea plugins is that, by spending a small effort to describe your resource
type to Omea, you automatically get its entire range of information organization and search facilities for
free.
